Manchester City struggles to win the EPL in the last two seasons, the competition is becoming tough every season since Arteta took over Arsenal, and as we see last two season, Arsenal were so close, and the way Arsenal is playing their games this season, they looks like they are ready for the title because last season, Manchester City couldn’t defeat Arsenal, while Arsenal defeated them at home, and this season, Arsenal were able to held Manchester City to a draw at Etihad with one man down from first half, and Arsenal again has started to correct some of the mistakes they made last season, they are working dropping unnecessary points, and they defeated Aston Villa that was one of the teams that stoped them last season.
Manchester City have dominated the Premier League for the past few seasons. But in the last two seasons, Arsenal teams have made City's road to the title difficult. Arsenal continued to challenge for the title until the last match of the season. If City had not won the last match of the last season, maybe Arsenal would have been the Premier League champions.
Arsenal have tried to strengthen their squad this season. Arsenal have learned from their mistakes over the past two seasons. And they are trying to correct their mistakes. So Arsenal is stronger this season.
Let’s also not forget Liverpool because Slot is doing a very good job. For now, my top four predictions will be based on current performance which Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea will be my predicted teams to finish top four at the end of the season.
You are right. Liverpool's performance was not good last season. However, the Liverpool team is able to consistently perform well in every match of this season. And the top spot in the table is now occupied by Liverpool. Liverpool's defense has been very strong this season. Liverpool conceded only 2 goals in 7 matches.
